Laura''s Desires

Lauras Desires is a diptych of two formally distinct long poems, each approaching various pop-cultural artifacts as a way to engage with longing, vulnerability, and the possibility of liberation. 

Referencing pop culture artifacts, from hit 90s singles like Selenas Dreaming of You to heroines of cult classic TV and films (Laura Palmer and Varietys Christine), this dynamic collection looks to these iconic touchstones as sites for feminist analysis and intervention. Traveling through dreamscapes, fantasy, and the quotidian, Lauras Desires forges a path away from fear and shame, guiding us towards liberation.
